Re: passing an array variable from a .Net middle tier to a databse

You can't use a PL/SQL table in ODP.NET. ODP.NET currently does not support object type or collection type:

Your best bet would be to use array binding i.e. bind an array to the OracleParameter object and set the ArrayBindCount in the OracleCommand object:
